HJ Res 117 Procedural Vote

Yesterday the Senate agreed to a cloture motion to allow
consideration of HJ Res 117, the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013.
This procedural vote clears the last hurdle in allowing the Senate to vote on
this measure, probably today. The vote of 76-22 in favor of cloture is a pretty
sure sign that the measure will pass.

Just a reminder that passage of this continuing resolution
will continue the CFATS program through at least March 27th, 2013
with a slightly increased rate of funding.
